    BTW, to be correct, the picture should be inverted both ways: upside-down and left-right ... but it should be an option of course

    I have looked how this could be done and there is no quick way of doing it. The camera API only support rotation, so the mirror need to be done in software. This feature will have to wait the next major release where I plan to introduce BW conversion with filters support.

    Clever, but I take out myLF to get away from "technology" and closer to the "real" world. For now I like my 4x5 cutout in gatorboard with a knotted string for focal lengths. Replacements are cheap; no upgrades; no viruses.

    I don't have a iPhone or iPad so it would be hard for me to test the application on this platform.

    As of the supported format, the application impose absolutely no constraints. You can define all the format you want for any focal you like.

    I've just purchased it to try on my Samsung Galaxy Note, since installing it everytime I try to use it it freezes, with the message 'unfortunately, viewfinder has stopped'

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing problem with the application. I see that some error reports have been generated. Please try to clear all application data and make a fresh reinstall of the application. Sometime, problem occur at the installation process that lead to strange application behavior. If a reinstall doesn't make it, let me know and I'll look into it.

    What you are describing seems to be the normal application main screen. If thing are working normally, from there you should be able to press the menu key that will display the main menu that gives you access to the settings preference panel and to the viewing frame setup screen. To take a picture with the iris button, you first need to select the frame line that you want to use. To do that, you simply click with the desired frame. Some masking should then be added indicating the selected frame line. Hope this help.

    Maybe I missed something. How can you define a focal length on a format which requires a field of view that is greater than the taking lens of the IPHONE? For example a 47mm lens on a 4x5? How would that work?
    Thanks,
